Fight Analysis

- Trevor Peek: Peek’s strengths lie in his striking power and aggressive style, making him a dangerous opponent early in the fight. His strategy will likely involve using his knockout power to secure a finish before Ashmoz can establish his game plan.

- Yanal Ashmoz: Ashmoz’s strengths include a balanced skill set with knockout power and some submission ability. His approach will focus on evading Peek’s early aggression, using movement and technical striking to avoid damage. Ashmoz may look to capitalize on any fatigue or over-aggressiveness from Peek if the fight extends into later rounds.

How They Will Win: Trevor Peek is likely to win by KO/TKO if he lands his powerful strikes early. Yanal Ashmoz could secure a win by surviving Peek’s early onslaught and exploiting any openings, or by potentially winning by TKO if the fight progresses into the later rounds and Peek tires.

Round: Trevor Peek to win in the 1st round by TKO. Peek’s early aggression and knockout power present significant advantages, and if he capitalizes on these, he is likely to secure a win within the first round.
